For the past month or so, others & I had been birding & naturing (nature watching) every day, & we had been seeing Steppe Eagles (Aquila nepalensis) often (not a rarity in this part of the mountains at this time of the year).

Sharing this moment here, as my first post, reminds me of the thrill of that special moment & in a way also hopefully a thrill start to being here on Mastodon (& the fediverse)

This morning I heard a familiar but raspy cheer cheer cheer but without the expected pirdy pirdy pirdy. After another minute, though, there it was: a cardinal’s birdsong

I had only recently read how birds might lose their voice in winter, so this was kind of cool to hear the warm-up….

"Winter Song" is my new #painting about those bright winter days of lemon and pink skies, when the air is clear and cold, and the #birdsong rings louder than ever.

As well as the little robin belting out his sweet song, I've included other winter birds: fieldfare, waxwing, redwing, and (my favourites) starlings.

Thanks for looking. 🙏

Winter birding thing that I love:

Pine Warblers, which usually spend their time wayyyy up in the tall pine trees, come down low in the colder months to feed on seeds on the ground.

How do they make themselves feel more comfortable doing this? They flock together with the Bluebirds! So you get these lovely mixed flocks of little bright blue and bright yellow birds poking their heads up from the grass.

Just one of those really nice “animal calendar” moments
